MINOR
The transition from the Engrossed to the Enrolled version of SB 2949 involves primarily technical formatting updates, such as correcting the bill title and updating page numbers, rather than substantive policy changes. The core provisions regarding missing person reporting and evidence collection remain unchanged.
TECHNICAL
Updated the bill title from 'Engrossed' to 'Enrolled' and corrected page number headers throughout the document.
